TheRealNico said: I know you're being sarcastic, I just felt like explaining myself. 15 Million for 3 years??? Is that a joke?? Odds are the Jets will get Mariota as of now. This implies if the Titans are all over Leonard Williams like they seem to be right now. Good to know!! Titans will definitely take Williams but I doubt Mariotta falls to the Jets. He's going to light up his pro day. I feel like some team will trade up before the Jets to grab him (perhaps with Jacksonville or the Raiders). |

Maybe if they can somehow unload Fletcher Cox, Mychal Kendricks, Zach Ertz, and Nick Foles to the Jets they might, might be in luck. Nah, they could make it much easier than that by making it a 3-way trade. Eagles trade their pick with someone in the 9th-13th range. Eagles trade that pick to the team in position to draft Mariota (Skins/Jets) |

| The Philadelphia Ducks are going to the Bowl. Book it. In reality, if Alonso has recovered fully from his ACL tear and returns to his rookie year form, Kelly got a solid trade (not even taking into account the added cap space). However, there is no guarantee of that. Now I'm a little disappointed that I cut Sproles in my auction dynasty league although Polk will get more run. But they'll probably draft a RB as this draft is loaded with them and anyone could be successful behind their o-line when it's healthy. |

| If there is a Mariota trade it'll be a similar package to RG3 trade. |
| Would it be too much to dream as a Browns fan for the Browns to sign Suh, grab Kevin White by a slight trade up (I think DeVante Parker is very solid as well), and then grab a RT with our second first rounder (allegedly Flowers)? If that happened, I wouldn't care what the QB situation was. Hell, I'd even take Hundley in the 3rd or 2nd if the above situation happened (ideally wait till next year to grab a QB). Of course, we'll probably get in a bidding war with Philly for Mariotta and trade the farm. Then lose a 2nd for Farmer not being to stay off his iPhone during a game. |

| Hehehe the Philadelphia Ducks! Wooo-hooo! |

I know what you meant. I'm just saying that there is no GM/owner as stupid as Dan Snyder who would pay 3 first rounders and a second round pick for RG3 let alone Mariotta. So as Dan Synder is the only person in the NFL that would make a RG3-esque trade proposal, there will not be a RG3-like package for Mariotta (unless Dan Synder wants to trade up for another QB). And unfortunately, I know all too well about the Watkins and Julio Jones trades being a life-long Browns fan. I essentially think of every extra first round pick that the Browns acquire in a trade as a negative asset. With those extra first rounders we gained, we drafted Trent Richardson (used the extra assets to trade up for him), Brandon Weeden, Phil Taylor, Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel. |

The precedent has pretty much been set. Yes. I know what you meant. I'm just saying that there is no GM/owner stupid enough as Dan Snyder who would pay 3 first rounders and a second round pick for Mariotta. So vis-à-vis, there will not be a RG3-like package.

Lol if Chip can convince the rest of the front office I can almost guarantee you it'll be a package like that. Lol you can't give up on Gilbert yet, even if they passed on Odell Beckham to take him. Most of those others were pretty bad even at the time that they happened. |
| I think it's pretty clear what Snyder's position on his QB is. We're doomed....doomed I tell ya! |
| Ideally (I'm using that term loosely) they will use him as trade bait. And that's provided that he falls to the 5th. QB is an area that unfortunately anyone but Dan Snyder don't have much say in. Even after Gruden said in an interview that the job would be earned, Snyder (as many of us were expecting) just gave RGIII the nod. Landon Collins would be a worthwhile pick though. If we could sign a safety who not only idolized Sean Taylor, but can actually hit like the man, that would be a step in the right direction. |

Beat writers throwing shit against the wall trying to get anything to stick to hit a big story ala Chris Sheridan last summer with the LeBron back to Cleveland guarantee. But in the period before official signings are allowed, I'll scoop up any piece of news. I'd love for the Browns to somehow get in on the Suh contest. |

BREAKING: The Philadelphia Eagles have released a new logo. |

TheRealNico said: Seeing you live in Philly, how do the fans view the trade? Classic irrational Philly fans who think that they know what they're talking about. They were furious at first for trading Shady and going "who is this clown Kiko Alonso?" They only know the big names. Now, they think that it's the greatest trade of all-time. Worst fanbase (as a whole) that I've ever encountered. Bar none. And don't even get me started on their incessant bitching about their "sports misery". Complete bull. The Phillies and Flyers recently won ships and the Eagles went to 5 straight NFC championship games and a Super Bowl (Sixers even won a ship in 1983). They're completely retarded. |

TheRealNico said: MJD has retired. Sad to see him go. This may be a green light for the Raiders to throw money at Murray. If by Murray, you mean Latavius Murray then yes. A high priced RB who just had 392 carries is the last thing that the Raiders need. |

And don't even get me started on their incessant bitching about their "sports misery". Complete bull. I don't like them either. Hear all sorts of stories about booing and throwing snowballs at Santa Claus and cheering Michael Irvin while he's injured. Ha, kind of like 49ers fans, but in reverse. Darnell Dockett signing is already being treated like it's a Super Bowl winning acquisition but if that doesn't get them there they'll start calling him old and washed up. Reminds me of how they currently treat the Anquan Boldin acquisition the minute they acquired him they were saying it'd give them the Super Bowl. Nice signing of Dockett for the 49ers btw, I wanted him on my team. And they got him for cheap, which means it's a higher reward from it. Guess we're being thoughtful with the money after all. I just hope we somehow use the most on Lynch and then the rest on a Wags extension. Extending Wilson next year might be the safer bet anyways. They cheered when Victor Cruz got hurt too, IIRC there was even a radio host cheering about it on twitter. If they really don't even know who Kiko Alonso is they're obviously not even worth the time. I hope Chip Kelly runs that team into the ground.

| The Jets made a solid move trading for Marshall. |
TheRealNico said: No it's not a solid move. The Bears won the trade because they know how to properly rebuild by getting their 5th Round pick. Marshall is in decline and is a locker room cancer, it's like they just got Percy Harvin for the 2nd time in 5 months. This only creates a further toxic environment if nothing goes well for the Jets, which always seems to be the case some way or another. Assuming they can't get Mariota and are stuck with Geno Smith (another locker room cancer) for one more year, how do you think Marshall's going to react when the team blows up? The Jets are a clown organization, and seem to think that making media headlines is more important than building a winning football team. I actually don't think it's a bad move. I wouldn't say I'm a Marshall fan, but I still believed he was the best WR on that roster. Jeffrey cannot get out of his breaks fast enough an it showed last season. As long as Geno is the QB, nothing is going to work. However, I believe getting Marshall is a good step. I still don't know what the fuck they were thinking with that Percy Harvin trade, because that's someone who I really believe is a cancer. I don't think he is a locker room cancer, I just think the Bears were a total clusterfuck starting from the head coach. Yeah, the Jets are too. But at least the Jets have a defense to build on. The Bears couldn't stop a peewee team last year. |

| Also, as a Cowboy fan: Trent Cole and LeSean McCoy gone was like a dream come true. Yeah, yeah, I know Kiko is a beast, but he won't have the same impact LeSean did for at least the next few years. Shady was something of nightmares for Cowboys fans, especially with our porous run defense. It would be funny as fuck if Jerry ended up signing Trent Cole too. That guy terrorized us for a decade. |
|
| Skins look to be in the run for Justin Forsett. Probably to replace Helu. Makes sense as a 3D back, but there's no way they could be thinking of replacing a younger starter who's had 1000+ yards per season since he started with an older Back who just happened to have a good season last year.....right? I'm asking because this is Washington I'm talking about. Things get done here that should not get done. Pretty sure it'd be to replace Helu. Morris is still under his rookie deal anyway. |

Personally I think the McCoy trade was smart for the Eagles, just because it's becoming less and less effective to pay a RB $10-12 million or whatever his salary was. Now, it comes down to how they spend the cap space they gained, but McCoy started his decline this past year as well. Trent Cole I'm less sure about, but it's also not inconceivable that he's about to start a decline as well... seems like he's been around for a while. (And I say this as a Dallas fan as well) Cole would be a great addition to our no name D line, but only for the right price. We seem to be getting smarter with our money though, so we'll see. -Chance- said: The Jets made a solid move trading for Marshall. The move in isolation is pretty good I think; I'd expect Brandon Marshall to outperform whoever they would take in the 5th round, but when you look at Geno Smith you see that it really just doesn't matter. Marshall #1 and Decker #2 aren't the worst receiver situation in the league, but it doesn't matter if your QB can't hit the broad side of a barn. It'll take a lot more than a trade like this to fix the abomination that has been the Jets the past few years. |
